Click here to see our 5* reviews
An adaptable, friendly veterinary consultancy service, offering investigation
and management of cardiac conditions. Generally, pets are seen at 'associate
practices' which tend to be referral centres, which benefit from specialist
level staff and equipment. Please find details of these hospitals here.
In certain situations, pets can be seen at their own practice (or even in their
own home), therefore avoiding a long journey and owners can have the reassurance
of taking their pet to a familiar, trusted practice.
Our aim is to provide excellent customer service (for both Vet and Owner) and
offer advanced diagnostics to all pets, whether at a referral hospital or their
own local practice.
The service is fully mobile, using state-of-the-art equipment.
Jacqui is an enthusiastic teacher and CPD can be tailored to your schedule and
learning requirements.
Whether you would like to refer a case, have radiographs, ECGs or echos for
interpretation, or would like to discuss a case you're managing, please get in
touch.

ABOUT
JACQUI
Dr Jacqui Huxley BVSc CertVC DVC MVM MRCVS is our Veterinary Cardiology
Specialist.
She graduated from the University of Bristol in 2003 and immediately began
working in first opinion small animal and mixed practices; during this time she
developed a passion for the heart and successfully gained the RCVS Certificate
in Veterinary Cardiology. She has spent the last decade working in
cardiorespiratory medicine in referral hospitals, both as part of a team and as
the sole cardiologist. Jacqui has completed a residency in Veterinary Cardiology
with the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham,
and is proud to have obtained the RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Cardiology and been
awarded specialist status. She has been awarded a Masters in Veterinary
Medicine, the subject of which was intermittent collapse ('faint') in dogs and
cats.
Having spent 6 years in first opinion practice, Jacqui has a good understanding
of the challenges faced in general practice and tries to maintain a pragmatic
approach to case management, whilst striving to deliver the highest standard of
care. She strongly believes that the animal’s wellbeing, along with the owner’s
happiness, should be paramount.
Jacqui’s areas of clinical interest are cardiomyopathies and intermittent
collapse, and she has been involved in research in both of these areas. Outside
of work, Jacqui spends her time with family and friends, runs with her dog and
explores New Zealand.

JACQUI: "I HAVE PETS OF MY OWN, AND HAVE HAD TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS FOR THEM IN
THE PAST, SO I UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT CHOOSING YOUR VET IS. YOU CAN REST
ASSURED THAT I ALWAYS GIVE HONEST ADVICE AND HAVE YOUR ANIMAL’S WELL BEING AS MY
MAIN PRIORITY. HAVING WORKED WITH ANIMALS SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD (AND HAD PETS
ALL MY LIFE) I HAVE A GOOD ‘ANIMAL SENSE’. HAPPILY THE MAJORITY OF TESTS I DO
ARE NON-INVASIVE AND SIMPLY REQUIRE YOUR PET TO STAY STILL (NOT ALWAYS THE
EASIEST IN SOME CASES!) AND I INSIST UPON A CALM, QUIET ENVIRONMENT, SO EVEN THE
MOST TIMID ANIMALS MAY FALL ASLEEP DURING A SCAN".
YOUR APPOINTMENT
* PLEASE DO NOT FEED YOUR PET FOR 4-6 HOURS BEFORE THEIR APPOINTMENT, BUT DO
ALLOW FREE ACCESS TO WATER AND GIVE ANY MEDICATIONS THAT ARE DUE (A SMALL
AMOUNT OF FOOD FOR THIS PURPOSE IS FINE).
* WE KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO BE KEPT WAITING, SO UNLESS THERE IS AN
EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE, YOU WILL BE SEEN ON TIME.
* Consultations are long and relaxed (up to 1 hour) to give you time to fully
explain your concerns and decide what tests are carried out.
* In most cases we will carry out any diagnostic tests immediately after your
consultation, and many of them with you present. Some tests require your pet
to stay with us for the day, or overnight.
* Some procedures require your pet to have a small patch of hair shaved, this
will be discussed first during your consultation and is at your discretion.
* We will show you any scan images, xrays, ECGs, etc and discuss all our
findings and provide you with a management plan.
* We will speak to your Vet to share our findings and provide them with a
detailed written report of our findings.
WE ONLY ACCEPT CASES FROM VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS AND YOUR OWN VET SHOULD
ALWAYS BE YOUR FIRST POINT OF CONTACT. SHOULD YOUR PET HAVE A MURMUR, COUGH,
EXERCISE FATIGUE, COLLAPSE ('FAINT') OR ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE
US TO EVALUATE FURTHER, PLEASE ASK YOUR VET TO CONTACT US. ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED
THEIR REFERRAL REQUEST, WE WILL CONTACT YOU TO ARRANGE YOUR APPOINTMENT.
